-CHAPTER 3-
Time Skip: Two Hours
I yawned as I stood outside Naruto's house, along with Naruto and Kakashi. I knelt down a bit to adjust the zipper on my thigh-high black boots, then stood back up straight and pulled out my white ribbon and tied my pitch-black hair back into a ponytail. "So, is it time to leave, Kakashi-Sensei?" Kakashi nodded as he quickly made hand signs and slammed his hand onto the ground, creating a Summoning jutsu symbol on the ground.
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared, and out of the smoke came a giant hawk, screeching as it was finally free from the sealing jutsu. Naruto stood in shock of the size of the bird, and the loudness of the screech. I then grabbed my bag and swung it over my shoulder, jumping onto the hawk, smiling at Naruto. "Are you just gonna stand there, or are ya coming with us, Naruto-Kun?"
Naruto then blinked and nodded, quickly zipping up his orange and black jacket, grabbing his bag and jumping onto the hawk, sitting in front of me. Kakashi then jumped on as well, grabbing onto the hawk's big feathers. "I suggest you both hold on to something." Naruto quickly gripped onto the hawk's feathers as well, while I wrapped my arms around his waist, keeping my body close to his.
"Alright!" Said Kakashi, looking back at us. "Let's head on out to the camp!" I then smiled and nodded at Kakashi, still keeping close to Naruto. "Yes sir!" Naruto and I said in unison. Kakashi then signal to the hawk to take off, causing the hawk to start flapping his enormous wing and take off into the air within a few split seconds.
I gasped in surprise as I looked down at the ground under us, watching all the people look up and see us flying in the air on the hawk. I then buried my face into Naruto's back, keeping his body close to mine as well flew. Naruto glanced over his shoulder and looked at me with a warm, sweet smile.
"You doing alright, Yoko-Chan?" He asked as he looked over at me. I looked back up at him and nodded, blushing slightly. "Yeah, I'm good, Naruto-Kun." He grinned at me, as he then turned around, grabbed me and sat me in front of him. Then, wrapping his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder smiling. I blushed as I looked at him, watching him bury his face into my shoulder, sighing peacefully.
"N-Naruto-Kun...?" I asked in a soft voice. He then yawned, snuggling into me, blushing a little as he looked up at me. "Yes, Yoko-Chan?" I blinked at him, smiling sweetly as I began to stroke his hair, entangling my fingers in the blond locks of hair. So...soft... I thought to myself as he held himself close to me.
Kakashi glanced back at us and chuckled softly. "Adorable. Just plain adorable." Naruto looked up at Kakashi and stuck his tongue out at him. "Shut up, Sensei." I giggled, looking at Naruto, as I then slipped my hand into his, intertwining my fingers with his. Naruto then grinned at me and kissed my cheek, giggling softly.
I blinked at him, my face beginning to turn red as I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him even closer to my body. "Naruto-Kun..." I said in a low, yet lovingly tone. "I love you." Naruto looked over at me and blushed, then gave me a warm smile. "I love you too, Yoko-Chan."
Naruto then placed a hand on my chin, pulling my face closer to his as he closed his eyes and pressed his soft lips against mine, making my eyes widen in surprise. I tensed up a bit, then closed my eyes, slowly starting to relax as I kissed him back. Naruto then broke the kiss, and grinned at me, making me blush even more. I...I actually did it... I thought to myself, in shear shock and happiness. I kissed him! I really kissed him!
